Thranduil on Elk - 1:6 scale figure

[Lumos]

I suppose to be fair, we've only seen a few in-hand photos so far. I mean, yeah, it looked bad, but... Have any new ones surfaced?

At this point I'm really just waiting for a new Sauron. No flesh and basically all armor so Weta should be able to pull it off. Same for a Nazgul...

Don't forget no orange too

There's some high quality photos here:

There's also more pictures over at Statue Forum. Thranduil's face and the elk seem to be the worst parts.

So really only the two most important parts.

The eyes are bad. For some reason so many use way to bright of blue when they do blue eyes.

You have to remember something too. This has been blowed up fairly big. When you have it in hand, you won't notice the paint as much. Though those eyes are gonna stand out. There are a lot of Weta statues with questionable paint, especially in the past.

WETA has fallen of a cliff, that's for sure. Glad I dropped out in 2015 or so with Uruk Hai Swordsman being my last purchase. Overpriced and sloppy more often than not. 1000€ for Ken the doll wtf, I can't believe ppl over there at FoU bend over and let that quality decline happen. Vote with your wallet, nobody cares about your forum whining as long as you keep ordering

I won't throw Weta under the bus yet. Like SSC, I've ordered a lot of items to see them first hand to make a final decision.

Manufacturing is manufacturing... even brand new cars turn out to be lemons.

Are you keeping your pre-order?

I am wondering if I should cancel and just take the hit of the NRD

 

[Pork Chop Express]

I'll keep it, it's worth seeing in person. If I'm not feeling it I'll send it back.

 

[The Ween]

With it being that limited and sold out, I would definitely keep it.

went back up for sale last night

Didn't last long, must have sold to flippers or they only had a couple.

At first when I saw that face I thought that might be a pix of a 6" plastic figure, but.....nope. Whew, lad.

 

[Pork Chop Express]

Any shipping notices? I've paid but nada on shipping...

 

[67L88Stingray]

Might have oversold them, I wouldn't be surprised if you get a cancellation mail.

 

[Pork Chop Express]

Got it, will have it by Thursday.

 

[Adolfo]

Got shipping notice

 

[Fremen]

I got mine last week. It's really nice.

 

[Lumos]

Any photos?

 

[Pork Chop Express]

Tomorrow I'll try to post some, I'll pick it up from UPS after work.
